So how am I supposed to wash 'em?

Laundry. I sort them into warm wash and cold wash.

Hence this label on my new $15 Target jeans is confusing.























Can you read it? In green it says THINK CLIMATE COLD WASH & LINE DRY. Then further on it says WARM MACHINE WASH SEPARATELY.

So how am I supposed to wash you jeans? Does it matter either way?

    I think it means you save energy when you cold wash & line dry.

    So you can do that. Or you can warm machine wash.

    This video might be a good place to start in understanding denim (though targeted at men in the US, and far removed from discount jeans, I think you'll still like it).

    I NEVER warm wash. My laundry powder says it is for cold only. What does warm washing do that is better?

    I want to wash the way that is best for the clothes. I did a quick google search before and I think hot water is good for cotton & linen (e.g. sheets), but cold or warm water is better for other materials or kills germs better or something or other.

    Thanks for the link Dave - will have to check it out during my off-peak quota :P
